I initially started this review of an old comic reviewing an early independent comic featuring one of the earliest creator-owned characters of the Bronze Age of comics, E-Man #2. I abandoned that after months of trying to sum up a comic that not only featured of the most bizarre stories around a bizarre character, but … Continue reading Legion of Super-Heroes #286 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Squadron Supreme #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I wanted to write another review of an old comic tonight. Going through my list of comics, I came across Squadron Supreme and remembered it taking the concept of a team meant to mirror the Justice League and running with it.The Squadron Supreme were created as a take on the Justice League. Writer Roy Thomas … Continue reading Squadron Supreme #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Dazzler #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I've been a huge proponent of the potential Dazzler has a character. The success of Jem and the Holograms in portraying a music group, complete with performances, shows that it can be done and done well. Part of her past trouble in connecting to audiences was from a lack of perspective from male creators on … Continue reading Dazzler #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics

Magik #4 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Occasionally, I just trip across a cover while browsing the Internet, and I remember it vaguely from my childhood. Magik, the Storm and Illyana Rasputin mini-series from 1984, fills in the space between panels of Uncanny X-Men #160. In that issue, the X-Men, and Colossus's little sister Illyana are transported to the other-dimensional domain of … Continue reading Magik #4 – Reviews Of Old Comics

Infinity Gauntlet #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
It seems like Marvel Cinematic speculation is falling towards Infinity War, the third Avengers film where all of the MCU heroes will be brought together against the plans of Thanos. It all builds on the story that started over a quarter century ago. Recently, I revisited the event that started this journey that the Marvel … Continue reading Infinity Gauntlet #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Star Wars: Heir To The Empire #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Hey! It's Star Wars month! With a new prequel coming out, I thought it would be nice to look back at exactly why we had a demand to continue the Star Wars saga. Sure, it was always there, bubbling under the surface. It wasn't until there was a demonstrated demand for new stories that the … Continue reading Star Wars: Heir To The Empire #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Shade The Changing Man #19 – Reviews Of Old Comics
This week I'm actually presenting a review especially for the holiday season. There was a time, in 1992, when I was really engrossed in the DC Heroes Role-Playing Game. I even subscribed to Mayfair Games' newsletter that about this time (as I recall, it could have been a later year) that among the new character … Continue reading Shade The Changing Man #19 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Plasm #0 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Let's set the stage for this week's Review of Old Comics. In 1992, Jim Shooter had been ousted as Editor-In-Chief of Valiant Comics. A year later, he founded Defiant Comics in the crowded direct market of the 1990s. To stand apart, it was decided that the first issue of their flagship series, Plasm, was to … Continue reading Plasm #0 – Reviews Of Old Comics
